Application led November 12, 1914:. Serial No. 871,710.

To all whom t mag/concern.'

Be it known that I, FIORE RICCIARDELLI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of. Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Percolator-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

I will first describe my detail and then point out the novel features in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a side elevation, partially in section, of a 'percolator support embodying my improve-...wl

ment; Fig.- 2 is va sectional view taken through the plane of the dotted line 2-2, Fig. l; and Fig. 3 contains partial detail views of parts 'of a percolator supported by vmy improvement. n

Similar letters of reference designate cor responding parts in all the figures.

, A designates a receptacle shown as provided with a downwardly tapering eXtension a. Thel lower end of this extension a is shown as provided with a shoulder' a. A fabric, as B, suitable for straining or iltering purposes, may be tied around the shoulder a.

C designates a tube shown as funnel laredat its upper end. The' extension' may be fitted into said funnel flared portion of the tube-C. rIhe funnel flared portion of the tube C may be provided with flanges or projections c, and a packing, of cork or other suitable material, may be provided to effect a tight jointure a. andthe tube C.

D designates a receptacle or kettle shown as provided with a Haring neck as d. The

tube C is shown as inserted into this receptacle or kettle D and a packing, as c of cork or other suitable materlal, may surround the exterior of the funnel shaped por-v .tion of the tube C, where the funnel -shaped portion of the tube C fits -into the receptacle or kettle D, so as to effect a tight ]ointure between the receptacle or kettle D and the funnel shaped portion of the tube C. .The receptacle or kettle D is shown as provided with a shouldeigas d at the upper end of its neck (l.

My support made will now E designates a with a two-part circle the neck d.

for a percolator as' thus be described.

handle shown as provided collar e e', adapted toen- 'Ihe part e is hinged at improvement inbetween the extension handle E then .placed on w inserting pin f at the upper end ofthe upi of the handle E. f 4'If it be desired to use a cap,

e2 to the part el which is rigid with the handle, and a clasp, as e3, is shown as provided for locking the parts together and clamplng them around the neck d. The hinged part e is shown as provided with a teat e4, adapted to it into a recess e5. Inside the collar e e I may, if desired,.p'ro vide a packing, as e", of cork or other suitable material. To place the handle Einposition around the neck 'd the hinged part may be thrown aside and then brought around into contact 'with the neck d, and thefclasp e3 then pushed into such position that it will lock the hinged part e.

e7 designates an opening .in the handle into which .a pin f at -the upper end-of an upright, as F, may be inserted. The pin may be screw threaded, and a cap or nut, f', screw threaded on its interior, may be provided, to it thereover. 'I`he upright F may be heated in any -desired'mannen In. the drawings I have shown a reservoir I-I for `holding alcohol, oil or other desired liquid. This reservoir II is shown as resting on the base, land provided with a burner t. l

The fabric B may, of course, beheld in place without tying, by merely pressing the extension a into the funnel shaped portionof the tubej C, allowing suicient' of the.

fabric to be held between the extensionand that part ofI the funnel. shaped portion of the tube C-which surrounds' the eXtensionl a." L

rlFhe receptacle A may, if desired, be provided with a cover. i

In the use of the percolator pulverized coffee or. other material will -be placed in the receptacle C and fall to the lower end thereof .and rest on the strainer or filteren.' as B. Water intended for usein making the brew will be placed in the receptacleor kettle D.

In use the collar e e of my improved supfport is locked around the neck d andthe the'upright F by right F into the opening e" cap is placedin position-on that part of the pin f which extends beyond the .handle E. .When desired the receptacle or kettle4 D may be turned to one side bymerely turning the hand grip E of the handle E,

as f', .said

Y from over the ame,

. still in her hand, lifts it of the pin collar were ana, indeed, the Whlch the contents of the receptacle or kettle D is subjected, may, in a measure, be c regulated in this manner.

When it is desired to serve theY contents of the receptacle or kettle D the receptacle A and tube C are removed and the handle E swung aside so that the kettle is moved then the cap f (if it be employed) is removed, and finally the operator with the hand grip of the handll f an utilizes it to raise and carry the kettle to the point of use without putting her hand upon it at all. There she may turn the handle so as to tip the kettle and pour out its contents as may be desired.

I have thus specifically described the percolator with Which this improved support is t0 be used, for the reason that the kettles thereof are made of glass or plain metal, and are always hot when removed from a position over the flame. It will be observed from Fig. 3 that the parts e and e', of the collar are of channel-Iron with their open sides facing toward the kettles neck d, and

therefore this channel serves to retain the packing e"s whose inner face projectsfslightly beyond the edges .of lthe channel-iron as shown in this View and comes into contact with said neck. Thereby a neck of glass Will not be crushed, even if the parts of the drawn very closely together by the clasp, because the edges of the channeliron will at no point come into contact withsaid neck. Moreover the outstanding shoulder d at the upper` end of the neck overlies the collar and prevents the neck from slipping out of the collar, even if the latter were not clasped very tightly around it. Therefore it will be seen that the specific constructionof this support is adapted especially to perc'olators of this kind.

lVhat I claim as my invention and desire to 'secure by Letters Patent is: 1. The combination with a kettle having a neck provided with a shoulder around its upper end; of a base'an upright rising from thebas'e, a handle having one end and a collar at its other end adaptintensity: of the heat to Tione end of the handle, and

a hand grip at ed to encircle said neck beneath its shoulder, and a pivotal support between the upright and an intermediate point on the handle whereby the latter may be moved to swing the kettle horizontally into and out of position above the base at will, for the purpose set forth.

2. The herein-described percolator support comprising an upright having a pin projectlng vertically from it and threaded at its upper end, a horizontal handle havmg an opening through its mid-length removably and pivotally mounted 011 said pin, a hand grip at one end of the handle, a collar at the other-end thereof composed of two parts movably connected with each other, and a nut removably mounted on the threaded upper end of the pin above said handle, for the purpose set forth.

3. The herein-described percolator support comprising a base, an upright rising therefrom and having a pin projecting vertically from its upper end, a handle having an opening through it removably and pivotally mounted on said pin, a hand grip at a collar at the other end thereof composed of two parts whereof one is secured to the handle and thel other is hinged to the first part with its free end adapted to lie against the handle, and a clasp for holding said end in place.

4. The combination `with a friable receptacle having an upstanding cylindrical neck; of a support therefor including a base, an upright, a handle pivotally carried by said upright. a two-part collar of channel-iron whereof one part is rigidly carried by one end of the handle and the other part is hinged at its outer end to the first part with its inner end adapted to lie against the handle, a clasp slidabl)v mounted on the handle and adapted to embrace such inner end, and packing within the channels of both parts, for the purpose set forth.
